I can understand that, there isn't much else that I think that could be done up that would fit; I checked for myself what it might look like by swapping chargin to jumpin, you're right about it looking plain but not to come off as irrational or to discredit the preexisting styles, but I think cosmetics do shine at their best when they're simplistic like the glasgow great helm, pirate bandana or the newer cosmetics like the death stare and plaid lad, not to say that the thunder dome looks bad, it's a good cosmetic, just that I think a lot of the reason for people's continued use of older cosmetics may relate to how unbusy they are, which I think chargin and jumpin slightly suffer from with chargin's white track tire decal to jumpin's sticky bomb decals, personally for jumpin the two white lines would've been just right, just a case of less is more, but that's just me.
still congrats on the addition.

@scoob
yeah we went through a bunch of options, figured more than 3 styles was excessive anyway and weren't mad about any of the 4th ones
could have done that yeah but would have been a little plain

nice that this set got added, also after seeing the concept art on the workshop and seeing the 4th style, had you gone through with a 4th style other than the one on concept since I'm betting it was probably too similar to the hazard headgear, what would've you gone through with, only thing I can envision is a style likewise to the boston brain bucket's blank style that is without spikes and a just a purely paintable visor.

which to be fair they've generally got better at adding more pieces of/not having a bad habit of adding only the plainest item out of a set like they tended to do back in the day a lot

worth pointing out its very common for sets to get split up/broken into parts anyway tho

purity fist works different to all modern/importer cosmetics since it adds an extra skin to heavy himself iirc
idk about yeti arms tho

Valve's picks has always had me confused most of the time of what they pick for the updates.

The one that confused me the most was ''Heavy Tourism'' being added into a Scream Fortress update rather than a Summer update.

While it is a great cosmetic to go well with summer loadouts, i'm still wondering to this day why they coudn't just have added it in a summer update instead, where it would make more sense to add something like that.

jungle inferno had 2 heavy sets with broken up parts, one of which was a serviceman shirt which looked good, but this one, i can't really tell if it wasn't included because of "clipping" with melee weapons, yet you have the purity fist, and the yeti arms.

And yeah its a shame feels like almost a complete waste of time making glove cosmetics

Not to toot my horn but
yeah me too

this is one of the top 3 things i've made id like them to add
even if its a little dated looking these days

It isn't really new from Valve to pull a move like this, i remember back in Smissmass 2019 where Valve only one shirt for the Sniper the rest was just headwear/eyewear.
(Most of of them were All-Class hats that were mainly holiday-themed, and a couple of them sadly didn't go well with many other cosmetics)

Valve had some good amount of Coats, Jacket and Shirt choices to choose back then to pick, but for some reason they thought only Sniper was in need of a shirt that update, while the rest of the classes didn't get a single body cosmetic.

If there was a cosmetic i really wanted to see in this update, it would be this one, due to its the only cosmetic i've come across so far that gives medic fingerless gloves

Sadly Valve don't seem to add gloves so offen, which quite bothers me

(worded the "this isn't it" part incorrectly, i was directing that to the overall crate selection, the set is ok though we have been getting too many helmets like that for demo specifically.)

everybody had high expectations from valve ever since the summer update ended out decent, that same expectation of "all-round good cosmetics that don't horribly collide with every other cosmetic in existence", this isn't it. well atleast the suit here is versatile with the added benefit of its styles and the paint region not being so eye-melting, we could have gotten plenty of items in this quality but nope.

and now you understand why are people disappointed.

the discourse about tacky stuff has pretty much died out, but instead, we get more... per say, random cosmetics thrown in that don't do much with the class. yes, it's halloween, but atleast we could have gotten a bit more tasteful cosmetics such as the ghostbuster sets for medic and pyro, as an example. it could be an overreaction from the community at first glance, but we have already gotten a convict spy set forever ago, the suit for it is just too much. when you compare that to the turncoat, that atleast allowed you to wear miscs under it.

idk theres some duds and some that are good but not to everyone's taste but there always are

idk just find it weird ppl are acting like this is a christmas 2021 all over again (95% dollar store christmas junk, at most 3 just about ok ones) rather than on par with most of the Halloween cases in the last 5 years (mixed bag, some odd choices and some pointless all-classes but at least 50% decent ones)

i don't really mind that one either, but man.

ymmv but i personally like the scout one too

how is this the only good cosmetic set in the whole case?

Looks like we can finally make a Stuntman/Wasteland themed Demoman, considering this is in the game now.

Congrats btw.

if that's the case then making a simple edit by removing the visor for a full face 3/4 helmet would be a cool option for the cosmetic, the only thing about the additional style options is that chargin wouldn't have the ability to be painted if it uses the same vtf since the visor is the only paintable part of the cosmetic from the jist of looking at it.

hmm Im fairly sure you'd still get phong/shine a bit? they're probably hard to see when painted black but not invisible

about the helmets since the visors are slightly transparent, if the value is high enough for the transparency on the vmt would it end up being completely see through as though it's disabled since I think they would benefit from having an option for a visorless style for the helmet without having to implement another separate model file for each helmet or is that not a possibility.

i would vote purely because of how goddamn versatile these items seem

Great set. I especially like the stunt suit.

oh yeah i need this

I really wish there was a Post-Apocalyptic Update for TF2. You've made some of the best items fitting for such a theme.

gotcha! hope steam mods approve the page soon

its there but had to reupload it, was an idiot and forget one of the people on it

Is the vest cosmetic hidden by accident? would like to vote on that

another wasteland collection? oh yeah
